Isuzu has introduced the redesigned MU-X in Thailand, keeping its engine range but adding a number of equipment and cosmetic upgrades. This seven-seater now comes with an upgraded Ultimate grade and a new RS version with sportier exterior cues. The mid-cycle update improves the car’s external attractiveness with a newly redesigned front end.
The slimmer LED headlights and more noticeable bumper intakes go well with the bigger front grille. The stylish full-width LED tail lamps and an altered rear bumper are located on the back. The chrome grille, fresh intake trim, front skid plate, and extended rear bumper of the new RS trim make a striking visual impact.
It has special 20-inch black alloy wheels, matching paint jobs, green accents on the center caps and RS badges, etc. Inside, the revised Isuzu MU-X has a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 7-inch instrument cluster display.

While the RS model has unique black finishes and contrasting red ambient lighting, the Ultimate trim dazzles with truffle brown leather upholstery and new inlays. Performance-wise, the 3.0L diesel unit that delivers 190 PS and the 1.9L diesel engine that produces 150 PS have remained the same.
